Quickstart

Technical Author Note

The Quickstart's single job is to take a developer from zero to one successful test payment — nothing more.

  1. Prerequisites — where to get sandbox credentials, and the base URL.
  2. Authenticate — one correctly authenticated request using the finalised auth scheme. This becomes the single source of truth the rest of the docs match.
  3. Make one test payment — the simplest happy path only: a single intent: transfer sale, no branching.
  4. Read the result — show the response and the status field, noting that HTTP 201 is not success.
  5. Next steps — links onward to Payment Flows and the API Reference.

Note for technical author: Direct API and Hosted Components follow different paths through the quickstart and will need to be covered separately — the authentication step, request body, and how card data is submitted differ between the two. Consider whether this is one page with two tracks, or two separate quickstarts.
